Here’s your roadmap for the year!

Every class session has four important sections. You should read about the details for each using the main menu at the top of this webpage.

  • Prepare (): This page overviews the weeks

  • Lecture slides (): This page is for lectures

  • Lab activities (): This page is about labs

  • Reading (): This page is about Extras

  • Mini-Diss (): This page contains an interactive lesson that teaches you the principles and code you need to know. Go through these after doing the content.

tl;dr: You should follow this general process each week:

  • Check out the overview () page and do any thinking/reading/prep suggested if you have the chance
  • Come to the lecture () page
  • Attend the lab () and get cracking
  • Use the plentiful Mini-Diss resources () to help you smash the MD
